    Another lovely show, Sarah, filled with gorgeous nature, joy, and creativity.
    I also commute for work, staying several nights a week in the town where I work, and then returning to my home in Eugene. I have a few projects that just stay in one place, and while that definitely delays progress and creates interruptions, it also simplifies packing and gives me something to look forward to at each home.
    Thanks so much for sharing your natural and created beauty!

      Thanks Wendy, Isn't it hard? Maybe I need Rob to outfit the back of my car like a mini craft space for storage. I'm not sure I can leave things behind! Happy commuting and I'm glad to hear from someone that is in a similar situation!

    Thank you for your lovely vlog. I enjoy seeing all of the crafts you are working on. Loved the nostalgia for the old Lopi sweaters and finding patterns pre-Ravelry. Reminds me of a lovely green Lopi sweater I made for my then 2 year old daughter❤😊

    The descriptive word that came to my mind for your Lopi Sweater repeat from so many years ago is perhaps: Nostalgic Reverie. A reflection of our past and present selves.
    I admire all your projects amidst all the responsibilities you have in your life.

    Hand quilting has such a special quality. Your quilt will certainly be a heirloom piece. Seeing your niece and nephew playing on the frozen pond is such a joy. So many memories they will treasure in later life I am sure. As always, dear Sarah, your channel is so special. I appreciate all the time and care you take in making it. Take care and I hope your school year is going well and not too stressful.

    Your niece and nephew are adorable! They obviously have a blast with you! Love your beautiful projects and color choices Sarah. So funny, I just finished a sweater using Tinde, and will be making another from the book Wilderness knits. I love the hillesvog colors. If you talk to Nicole, can you tell her she is VERY much missed on TH-cam! Thank you for another relaxing podcast.

      Dear Christine, thank you! Those two yahoos keep me on my toes. The Wilderness Knits Book is intriguing. Two Tinde Kindred here huh? ;) I will relay the message to Nicole, she's a really gem, and I miss her episodes too.

  • @feltaria9177
    @feltaria9177 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I bought Manchelopis in 3 undyed colours- white, a medium brown and a gorgeous chocolate brown. I’m dark brown almost impossible to knit with so I assume it’s an even shorter staple. The white is definitely the easiest and I would think all the dyed colours are dyed on the white. I’m thinking of spinning the dark brown which defeats the purpose of buying Unspun but it might be the best way forward as I got very enthusiastic and ordered 6 cheeses because the colour is so beautiful.

    • @FiberTrek
      @FiberTrek  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmmm? That is so interesting the brown is preforming so different. I wonder about holding it with a mohair or a lace weight wool which might add some stability but of course change the gauge and the overall effect. I can see how one might get carried away with the natural colors ;)

    The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
    But the queerest they ever did see
    Was that night on the Marge of Lac Labarge I cremated Sam McGee.
    OK. Now I'm Jelly. Scotland AND The Yukon! Canoeing The Nahanni to keep Rob happy??? Maybe?? Hike The Chilcoot Trail? (A once in a lifetime adventure). I admire your knowledge and appreciation of place and thing around this world. I have always wanted to spend the evening of June 21st on top of the Midnight Dome in Dawson City (Yukon) with the locals watching the sun not go down! ...We your knitting fans will live vicariously through you this summer!

    • @FiberTrek
      @FiberTrek  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh Gail, of course you can quote Robert Service! I'm not even mentioning the Nahanni River to Rob! He's using this as scouting trip to go back for paddling ;) There are just a few places that draw me in and the Yukon is one of them as was Gotland. Funny, obscure adventures from past lives? I don't know but I'm excited to document them in the vlog!

    Aw dear Sarah 🙏🏼 I want to echo and send that beautiful affirmation back to you “MANY fond wishes and blessings”. I am so grateful for your kindness to mention my channel. Your episodes inspire me (that colourwork sweater in cognac!! Gah!!) and ground me, which, as someone who spends 75% of my life at 40,000-ft is something I really treasure - creatively and literally.
    Namaste

    Nice to see someone a little closer to me, I’m in Nova Scotia 😊. Our winter is a little late this year, but I’m so happy we finally have enough snow to play around in. I’m interested in knitting in either Nutiden or Manchelopi, but then you mentioned Briggs and Little, which perked up my ears. Of course they would have something similar! I’m so used to looking further afield. I am interested to know which of the three you prefer for sweaters, that are not as “woolly” as the Plotulopi? Also, your quilting looks amazing! Take care

      I loved this podcast. Lots of fibery content! I’m also interested in how the unsoun yarns compare. Are any next to skin soft?

    • @FiberTrek
      @FiberTrek  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh I love Nova Scotia! Thank you for your kind comment! I think Manchelopi would be the most plush for next to skin wear versus plotolopi. I imagine Briggs and Little would be wool pool fleeces so combination of local farms which might be next in line and then plotolopi. Once I get my hands on some Briggs and Little I'll try to be a little bit descriptive of all those I have. Happy Knitting !

    • @FiberTrek
      @FiberTrek  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dear Vicki, I think the Manchelopi would be the most readily available next to skin unspun options. It's very plush versus the dryness of the plotolopi.
